NCSA httpd's stock mime.types has application/wordperfect5.1, which I
suppose is as much of a "standard" as anything. Makes it rather painful
to support multiple versions, I'd think. My reading of the http spec
says that
Accept: application/wordperfect*
is illegal syntax, which doesn't infuse me with confidence that this is
being addressed consistently. On another note: I know next to nothing about
Wordperfect, but does it allow any kind of key binding? It's rather
sketchy to download files from untrusted sources into applications not
built with the concept of trust in mind.
